With Christmas just around the corner and me recovering from gallbladder surgery this week I have had a little down time, so I decided I could create a simple shabby chic card for this weeks MoJo Monday. Of course I knew I had to use the 5th Avenue by Melissa Frances love this paper line, added some vintage seam binding and mother of pearl buttons.

A little sewing around in grey thread gives this card a little pop!

Along with the card I knew I had to create a little ornament to adorn our tree with the 5th Avenue papers, it turned out so cute I created a few more for Christmas gifts.

Tip-look in your local stores Christmas section for great embellishments for a dollar...snowflakes are so fun to create with and give a little sprinkle. Washi tape and glitter make such a wow factor in your minis.

A Snowflake, Christmas greetings and MOJO Monday Challenge # 264 = a great way to start off the Holiday Season. With a North Eastern Storm to boot, I might be stuck home for a few days to craft out the storm.

I have just started taken part in the challenges over at MOJO Monday blog, and I am really enjoying the challenge sketches and inspiration from all the entries. Most of this card was created with pieces and parts of leftovers, a little snip here and some inking to create this little beauty...

Here is the side view of the snowflake...everything on this card is made with Close To My Heart products which you can purchase on my website www.peggyleebaker.ctmh.com except for the vintage mother of pearl button that adorns the center of the snowflake and a little glimmer mist.
